      Re: Warner's match fitness, if he can contribute > 4 disposals and 1 tackle for the game it will be an upgrade

        The AFL site reports that Ryder has been ruled out for this weekend's game, and also that Jack Billings has injured a hamstring and so is also out. (Not sure that the latter is necessarily a positive for us.)

          Poor Jack Billings - the Richard Tambling of his era.

              The biggest change may be about to hit; Vic government talking about another lockdown. May be no games at all, or the whole comp is moved to SA/WA.

                I suspect they will still allow professional sport, albeit with further restrictions. They allowed games to continue during their most recent lockdown. Even the Queensland government allowed the NRL to resume on the Sunday after they went into sudden lockdown last weekend.

                  I'm not a fan of Billings but I wouldn't be that harsh on him. He's played a handful of great games - something Tambling never did - but those seem to come out of the blue, and his normal contribution seems to be a long way short of his very best.

                    I hope so, liz. The footy and olympics are the only things keeping me sane at the moment!

                      Just read that Tasmania has cancelled the game that was due to be played in Launceston this weekend due to a Sydneysider breaching border restrictions and subsequently testing positive.

                        Stephens in for Bell. Rowbottom, Clarke, O'Riordan and Maclean emergencies.

If he does it well, it will be a big contribution to a winning performance. If not, Stephens will know he needs work on his game to play AFL footy.
                          Now let's see if the tagging role is a go as well.

                              I really hope they find a way to unlock his potential. Tagging Hill might just be it.

                                You might need to take up an assistant coaching role, Ludwig.
